H'ARNESS-ROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 425,228, dated April 8, 1890.

Application filed September 30, 1389- Serial No. 325,484:- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, DAVID M. IRELAND and CLIFFORD R. BRADLEY, of \Vaterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Harness-Rosettes; and We dohereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a front view of a harness-rosette embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a reverse View thereof; Fig. 3, a detached View of the back plate, showing the incisions made therein preparatory to the formation of the looparms; Fig. 4:, a view in'transverse section on line xxof Fig. 3; Fig. 5, a sectional View of the back plate, showing the loop-arms bent down and connected together; Fig. 6, another sectional view of the same parts, taken transversely through the loop; Fig. 7, a view in side elevation of the completed harness-rosette.

This invention relates to an improvement in metallic harness-rosettes, the object being to reduce the expense of their manufacture.

\Vith this end in View our invention consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

As herein shown, the improved harness-rosette consists of an embossed front plate A and a back plate B, the edges of the former being lapped over the edges of the latter, whereby the two parts are secured together.

In carrying out this invention two incisions are made in the back plate and portions of the metal thereof lifted away from its surface ,and bent to form arms C C, having fingers D D extending toward each other. These fingers are united by a cross-piece E, which is folded over upon itself, so as to inclose them. If desired, however, this cross-piece may be replaced by a small flattened tube or by any other simple connection. The said arms and cross-piece together form the loop of the rosette, which is thus made to consist of three pieces, and is simple to form and assemble.

What we claim is-- A metallic harness-rosette having a back plate formed from sheet metal with arms struck down therefrom combined with a tubular bar, its I ends united with said arms, and so as to form a loop upon the back of the rosette, substantially as described.
